it's now against the law in kentucky to release a feral hog or wild hog as they're known back into the wild. and to kansas, the whole concept of a crazy cat lady just became obsolete. no more than four cats per household are allowed in the state of kansas. north carolina is cracking down on slippery fingers. literally. stealing unused cooking oil is now classified as a misdemeanor. finally driverless vehicles got the green light to hit the road in california. but don't get too excited. self-driving cars are still in the testing phase and someone must be in the passenger seat. >>> next from high school to the house. house republicans were by no means united in favor of the fiscal cliff deal. speaker boehner wanted it past but eric cantor was against it. it turns out the tension goes a lot farther back for two other members of the caucus. it starts with darrell issa who voted against the fiscal cliff. >> i'm with eric cantor. i can't vote for it in its current form. the senate and the president and vice president failed to meet their obligation. their own stated obligation which was to b

that unemployment benefits were first suggested to be cut by senator jim doning, this guy here, from kentucky, all the way back in 2010, which is not all that long ago. the republicans thought it was so radical not the democrats the republicans. the senator from texas said, this is the one senator. this does not represent the position of the caucus. when they had a vote on it, bunning lost 78-19 a walloping. you know why? not extended unemployment benefits is deeply unpopular. have at it, hoss, you'll win that fight if you actually fight. but they never fight. oh here are more benefits for the rich. this is a terrible deal. finally we talked to congressman pete defazio about the next round of deals. do you think this is over? hey, there were no spending cuts in the deal. think again. listen to congressman defazio. >> do you think in the next round of the negotiations which should be in about two months, do you think president obama will put medicare and/or social security on the table? >> well, first off we were told that the president will not negotiate on the debt limit. his only out is the

on the senate side, as your viewers know, snar marco rubio and ran paul of kentucky, a sharing state with the republican leader mitch mcconnell voted against it. the question was why was paul ryan for it? what he told his colleagues is that he wanted this to win. it was better for the country for it to win. paul ryan's brand is as a serious person, a serious thinker on these issues to have voted no on what the leaders wanted to win. i think people would have seen as irresponsible. the purpose vote, eric cantor, kevin mccarthy, they passed those votes after they knew that it was going to win, and andrea, as you know, one of the reasons that they do such precise vote counting is to see who they can let go, who they can give a pass on a particular vote, and i think it would veb different if there was a danger -- if it looked like it was in sync, you might have seen a different vote from those leaders. >> one of the questions that i had earlier, though, before the break was why the speaker brought to the floor the -- his initial plan b when he didn't have the votes to pass it. >> that wa

it should also be noted that kentucky senator rahn paul who said he may run for president in the tradition of his father, also voted no. then, of course, you had a visibly angry chris christie yesterday who has no qualms about taking a few swipes at his own party when it benefits him politically. at a testy press conference, christie also reverted to tradition by chewing out a reporter, which was red meat for a base of republicans who might otherwise question his more moderate positions. all of which is to say the usual behind the scenes 2016 maneuvering is being put on stark display at the start of the 113th congress. so i have to go right over to the left-hand side of the table to you, jonathan. are we seeing the first shots, the firts salvo of the 2016 campaign playing out in how these guys voted? >> got love of god. we just got over 2012. >> never too early. >> if i must engage in this conversation about 2016, the way i look at it, the rubio camp versus the ryan camp i look at it as the governing camp versus the political camp. paul ryan, we all know where he stands. we know all about
